6.8 before breakfast 7.8 after breakfast

Hi Carol, We have all been there and done that... I now keep a load of frozen veg - which I turn into a curry for those emergency days.... Snackwise I like pork scratchings, or a few nuts. I've never really been a cake person but I am addicted to the LCHF cake which I make every week. I...

6.8 for me this morning... not ideal but lower than yesterday and I've now completed a full week with no gliclizide... :)

Hi Lorraine, so glad to find someone else who's liver loves them just as much as mine does :) Don't you feel lucky :):(:)

7.7 for me this morning... since stopping the Gliclizide my readings have been higher in general :(

If you feel your in control of your diabetes and can manage without the knowledge of testing that's wonderful. Testing for me has been an amazing experience, I now understand what foods work for me and what foods don't. It has been a real eye opener, especially discovering that certain...

You need to give your body a chance to get over the change in eating habits. Most people find it takes a few weeks before they notice a huge difference and for others it takes longer. It's the same with carbs some of us are more sensitive to them than others. If I had eaten what you had for...

I know it's so difficult getting any real help for a lot of us, and I have found since I have started to take control they don't seem to like that either. Especially when I question them about it. My Dr told me that I should be aiming for a HbA1C result of between 48 and 53 - when I asked him...

Hi Ruth, Sorry to hear about your cat. I had to do the same thing last Nov - Tigger was nearly 20 years old... He slept on my bed for 20 years and I swear sometimes, I can still feel him get on/off the bed now. My boss did the same with the easter eggs - except he brought in a Giant one... we...

5.9 before breakfast 6.6 after breakfast

Hi Brettsza, Yes I got them yesterday... HbA1c was 40 (down from 46) and my Cholesterol was down to 3.9 (from 4.3) :)

Will keep everything crossed for you:)

Thanks Bluetit. Patricia, Noblehead, S_K_S, and Mike, its so good to have a little concrete evidence that what I am doing is working. I'm learning new stuff all the time but I don't think I will ever really stop worrying about keeping control - which is a good thing I hope.

Thanks Kimbo, What I found strange is that he said my target range should be 48 - 53. He didn't seem to be able to give me an explanation why other than the NICE guidelines. Still I plan to keep doing what I am doing as I feel great.

Hi AndBreathe, Thanks for the advice about coming of Gliclazide - I do feel a little nervous about any change in medication - I think its because I now feel in control of my diabetes, rather than the other way round. I asked about the Metformin, and the Dr said he would review the need for it...

5.9 for me this morning... looking forward to a 4 day weekend!!

Hi Gabe, that's a great improvement well done.

B - salmon & brocoli quiche L - piri piri chicken with salsa, guacamole and sourcream using Lettice as the wrap... It was so yummy I am having it for lunch tomorrow as well D - 2 x 98% sausages, poached egg, 2 x bacon and mushrooms followed by sugar free jelly and cream
